Lower Back Tattoos

             This is the most popular female tattoo placement ever! The lower back tattoo is the most popular tattoo place among women, probably because of the fact that it is easy to hide, but also easy to show off when you want to. There are so many different things you can put there, from a floral pattern, to tribal, to a short quote, women have been coming up with original and quirky ideas to tattoo on there lower back. This placement has no boundaries to who will get it, there are no stereotypes attached to  getting a lower back tattoo. Lower back tattoos are most commonly nicknamed "Tramp stamps". These are obviously placed on your lower back, just above your tail bone, or where most jeans cover to. Some downsides to a lower back tattoo are, pain, the rule is: the closer to the bone, the more it hurts, and price, it of course depends on your design, but the more detail and colour the more it costs, the price is also affected by the artist or shop you go to, whether they are high quality and extremely professional or not so much. That is it for the most popular female tattoo ever!!

Basic Ear Stretching

                      Ear stretching is a very easy thing to do, but its also very easy to mess up. I suggest that if you want to stretch your ears, you already have an existing ear piercing that is completely healed. The first thing you want to do is get your piercing to at least a 12 gauge (2mm)  hole before you really big, with this size you can see through the ear lobe, but the hole is quite small. Some people will go from 12 gauge to a much bigger size like 00 gauge (10mm) or a 5/8" (16mm), some problems with this is you can "blow out" your ear lobe, this means the lobe will rip open causing obvious problems, or your ear could swell from the new pressure caused from the large increase in size. Others choose to increase slowly, going up every next or second size, this is how I prefer to stretch. Once you put a new size earring in, you should let it be for a while, let your ear completely adjust to the change. You should also keep tour ears clean, I suggest cleaning every night with a good disinfectant soap, a intense facial wash works good. If your piercing gets badly infected seek professional help, do not take this lightly, infections can grow into bigger and more serious problems.

        *** This blog is in MY opinion, I am not a professional and am not claiming any of my opinions in this blogs are facts or mandatory when stretching your ears***

Vampire Fang Implants

                       In today's media vampires are made out to be something teenage fan girls drool over, but what about the real vampire lovers, the ones who dedicate there life to looking and living like real Gothic vampires. Not only do some dress like them but get vampire fang implants. Fang implants are not very common as of now, but are on the rise. These are not those plastic vampire teeth you pop in for Halloween but actual fangs put in or personally designed by a dentist. There are different types of fangs you can get, the most popular being the "slip on" , they are made by taking an imprint of your canine tooth and making a fang that can slip on and off of it when ever. For a more permanent fang you need to get them done by a cosmetic dentist, your canine teeth are filed down so the new cap can fit on, they can not be taken off unless they are fitted to piece that slips into your mouth, this is painful and costly. Commitment is a huge factor in getting fangs, you have to train yourself to talk with them in, you have to know that you are going to have them for the rest of your life (unless they fall or rot out), and you have to not care about the criticism from modern society. It is not recommended that you get implants if your oral state is not close to perfect, if you have unhealthy teeth or gum disease you are more likely to have major problems with your implants. Modern media has a long way to go before they catch up with these kind of vampire lovers.

Bridge Piercing

                        This ones fun but risky. The Bridge piercing also known as an Erl is a surface piercing that goes horizontally across the bridge of  nose. Best jewelry for this is a small curved barbell, a strait barbell would rise the risk of rejection, which is high anyway due to people not having a lot of flesh there for the piercing to grab onto. Contrary to the rumour this piercing has never been reported in making anyone go cross eyed, the piercing should not be more noticeable to you as your nose, if it is the barbell is probably to long. Bridge piercing is not considered to be a very painful piercing, it is very quick, but remember everyone's pain tolerance is different. Very fun, but risky, that's is the bridge piercing.

Corset Piercing

         This is vanity at its best. Corset pierceings, some times called ladder piercing are series of hoop surface piercings, in two equal vertical lines. The piercings are placed where the eyelets would be if you were wearing a corset, there is really no limit to how many or how little you have or where you have them. Ribbon, most commonly,is then laced through the hoops and tied in a bow, though sometimes people will put rope or chain in. This is only a temporary use, if you keep the ribbon in for too long the piercings will not heal properly, they will move about the skin and reject from the body, most times leaving awful scars. Most common places for these are on your back, on your side, just under the ribcage, or from the base of your neck to near the end of your shoulder blades. Usually this is seen on women but has lately been seen on the men, on the front of there necks. There is vanity at is best!

Neck Tattoos

                    This is one for those who like to stand out. Most people really want or have a tattoo, the most common regions for tattoos are the shoulders, lower back, sleeves, or ankles, but this is a way to be noticed. Neck tattoos are mostly placed on the back of the neck but are also seen on the side or sides of your neck but sometimes put on the very front coming around both sides, or even connecting to a existing chest tattoo. These tattoos are not for the weak they are known for pain, the skin on say the back of the neck is thinner than than skin on your arm or back, there is also little padding or fat between the skin and the bone which makes the process that more painful. The healing time for these tattoos is longer than others, the reason being that the continuous motion of the head delays healing and causes the tattoo to scab quicker. Most tattoos have a meaning like a spider tattoo means creativity or a leaf tattoo meaning joy and rebirth, in society today people have come to the conclusion that a neck tattoo means the same thing on everyone, "I am not getting a job"! This is a great way to stand out!
